Former Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has told Marseille he is ready to fulfil his promise and return to the club. However, Marseille have yet to make a move for the 37 year old as they are concerned whether they can afford his wage demands.

His agent Thierno Seydi said: "Is Didier ready to return to Marseille? I stand by his words, he always kept the door open.

"Opportunities have already shown in the past, but it had not been possible for various reasons.

"Today he could contribute his experience, have more playing time and take on that leadership role of the locker room like he had at Chelsea.

"Since Sunday, a lot of clubs have told us of their interest. We will take time for reflection."
